Taoism values tranquility and inaction, so the inner hall of this Taoist temple is not as splendid as the previous Buddhist temple. Instead, it simply enshrines the statue of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, and places some tributes and a small pot that has just sprouted. It cannot be seen that it is
There were no green plants or anything else, and there was nothing that looked like a treasure.
However, Huang Shang was not in a hurry. He knew that since Lu Dongbin had brought him here, he would definitely not let him go back empty-handed.
"Fellow Taoist, since you are a member of my Taoist sect, you must have heard the legend of the Seven Treasure Gourd."
Sure enough, after bringing Huang Shang into the inner hall, Lu Dongbin smiled slightly, turned to Huang Shang and asked.
"Seven treasure gourds? Are they seven gourd babies?"
Although Huang Shang is a Taoist, it has only been less than two months since he joined the Taoist sect. He is extremely lacking in basic knowledge, so when he heard Lu Dongbin's words, he was immediately confused.
Regarding Qi and Calabash, he really only remembered the cartoon Calabash that he watched when he was a child.
Isn't this guy going to give me seven gourd babies or something?
"The seven treasure gourds refer to the seven treasure gourds produced on the gourd vines of an innate spiritual root during the ancient times!"
Fortunately, at this moment, the system came to the rescue: "These seven treasure gourds contain great power. They were all acquired by the ancient powers and became powerful magic weapons that shocked the ancients."
"The first one is purple-gold, which was obtained by Taoist ancestor Laozi. Later, it was refined into a purple-gold red gourd, and then it was used to convert the three pure things into one gas for Taishang Laojun to hold elixirs."
"The second one is purple-red. It was obtained by the ancient powerful Taoist Hongyun. He refined it into a red gourd with nine-nine souls scattered. It has unparalleled power. However, it was later killed by another great power."
"The third one is purple and white. It was obtained by the ancient demon emperor Donghuang Taiyi. He refined it into an immortal-killing gourd and gave it to his tenth son Lu Ya."
"The fourth one is purple-green, also known as the demon-calling gourd. It was obtained by the ancestor Nuwa and made into a demon-calling flag, which can attract all monsters in the world."
At this point, the system paused for a moment, and then continued: "The remaining three were also obtained by the ancient powers, but they lasted for a long time and cannot be detected."
"So powerful?"
Although Huang Shang didn't know much about the myths and legends of ancient times, he had heard of the names Purple Gold Gourd, Immortal Killing Gourd and Nuwa. What's more, the TV series "Journey to the West" also fully demonstrated the power of the Purple Gold Gourd.
It was revealed - it was a treasure that even the Monkey King could fit into it!
So when Huang Shang heard the system's words, his heart trembled suddenly, and his face showed a hint of excitement.
"It seems that you know the legend of this seven-treasure gourd. That's good."
Looking at Huang Shang's excited expression, Lu Dongbin smiled slightly and said: "The Seven Treasure Gourds were conceived by heaven and earth, and they are extremely powerful. However, they were born in heaven and earth and destroyed by heaven and earth. With the coming of the end of the law, they
It will also completely wither and be destroyed.”
"But now that the calamity of the End of Dharma has dissipated, the tide of spiritual energy has returned, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth is in harmony, this Seven Treasure Gourd finally has a chance to be reborn."
Having said this, Lu Dongbin walked up to the statue of the Three Pure Ones, bowed respectfully three times, and shouted in a deep voice: "Please show up, baby!"
Buzz!
As Lu Dongbin finished speaking, the green plant that had just sprouted bloomed with brilliant colorful brilliance, and then began to grow rapidly, and finally turned into a huge gourd vine that almost filled most of the room!
Then, the light on the gourd vine began to condense together, and finally turned into a black and white gourd, which began to sway left and right on the gourd vine.
What made Huang Shang a little speechless was that this black and white gourd was a bit too small. It was not the snoring one he used to have in the TV series "Journey to the West". It was only one or two centimeters in length and only half a centimeter in diameter.
gourd……
Although the power of the magic weapon has little to do with its body size...but is it too small?
And what the hell is this black and white gourd?
"The time for the recovery of spiritual power is too short. Even if it is combined with the thousands of years of incense of Shouyue, now only such a small gourd can be produced on this gourd vine."
Looking at Huang Shang's strange expression, Lu Dongbin shook his head and said: "Actually, if it hadn't been awakened by that evil beast, the Dao Sect Holy Land here would not be opened until at least another three months. But now that the Chaos Gourd has been produced in advance, this
The Taoist Holy Land will be closed for at least seven months, and will not be reopened until the ninth heavenly change. At that time, you can come here again to seize other gourds."
Having said this, Lu Dongbin paused for a moment, and then continued: "But you must not underestimate this little gourd. This chaos gourd is the most mysterious and powerful one among the seven treasure gourds. Although
If it is separated from the root system before it is fully developed, it may have an impact on the future, but with your current cultivation level, if I give you a fully grown treasure gourd, I am afraid that you will not be able to use it, so this small gourd is the most suitable for you.
.”
"From now on, you must make good use of this gourd of chaos to strengthen the reputation of my Taoist sect. You must not hold the treasure for evil. When the time comes, the cycle of heaven will bring unfavorable retribution, and that evil beast will serve as a warning for you!"
Having said this, Lu Dongbin's expression became extremely serious.
"Yes, this junior should remember Lu Zu's decree!"
Seeing Lu Dongbin's serious look, Huang Shang also looked solemn and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, this gourd belongs to you from today on."
Seeing Huang Shang respectfully accepting the instruction, Lu Dongbin nodded with satisfaction, then waved his right hand, and the black and white gourd fell off the gourd vine and flew towards Huang Shang.
Facing the black and white gourd that was flying slowly towards him, Huang Shang took a deep breath and reached out to catch it.
But who would have expected that at this moment, the black and white gourd, which was like a miniature work of art, suddenly accelerated and flew to Huang Shang's right wrist. A small gourd vine grew out of the top of the gourd, entwining each other like a hand pendant.
In Huang Shang's hands.
The next moment, the black and white gourd entangled in Huang Shang's hand emitted an astonishing suction force, and then Huang Shang also noticed that the power in his body began to flow towards it at a speed hundreds of times faster than refining the magic weapon that day.
The black and white gourds are pouring out!
If this continues, in less than a minute at most, the power in Huang Shang's body will be completely drained!
"What kind of power is there in your body that actually resonates with this gourd of chaos?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Dongbin's expression changed drastically: "What should I do? That's all. Now even if I destroy this treasure, I have to save your life first!"
After saying that, he actually pulled out the long sword from behind and slashed at the black and white gourd wrapped around Huang Shang's right wrist.
clang!
However, this black and white gourd is worthy of being a legendary divine object. Even with Lu Dongbin's current strength, a sword strike on the black and white gourd only caused sparks to fly, and then was bounced back, while the black and white gourd was
It was unscathed!
"Doom, catastrophe!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Dongbin's face suddenly turned a little pale: "It stands to reason that this gourd of chaos has not yet developed its spiritual intelligence and will not backlash... What exactly is there in your body!"
However, at this moment, Huang Shang could not even speak. He could only feel that all the strength and vitality in his body were flowing towards the gourd, making him become weaker and weaker, even
Countless wrinkles began to appear on his face, and his hair quickly turned white.
In less than a minute, Huang Shang changed from the energetic appearance of a teenager to a decrepit old man!
This kind of devouring is simply a hundred times more terrifying than the situation when refining the natal magic weapon!
At the same time, Huang Shang also asked the system for help in his heart: "System, what is going on?"
"The system doesn't know that the Chaos Gourd is the most mysterious of the Seven Treasure Gourds. It doesn't even have any records of the Taoist secrets."
"Now it seems that it is very likely that the yin and yang power of life and death in the host's body resonated with some kind of power in the Chaos Gourd, which caused the Chaos Gourd, which was already too precocious and extremely thirsty for power, to uncontrollably devour the host's power.
!”
The system's voice became extremely solemn at this moment: "Host, now that things have happened, you are probably going to die?"
"What?"
Hearing the system's words, Huang Shang's heart trembled suddenly, and then a trace of great fear instinctively arose.
At the same time, the last bit of vitality and strength in his body was swallowed up by the chaotic gourd. As the vitality and strength were exhausted, Huang Shang was like an old man who had died of his life, taking two steps back, and then became powerless.
He leaned against the beams of the house and slowly slipped to the ground. With an expression of disbelief and despair, he slowly lost his breath.
Huang Shang was actually drained of his strength by the Chaos Gourd, and died of exhaustion of life!
Buzz!
However, the next moment Huang Shang ran out of vitality and died, a bright golden light suddenly surged out from Huang Shang's body. At the same time, a series of Buddhist chants also began to sound from the golden light, as if there were countless immortal Buddhas.
It's like singing in the golden light.
And with the shining of the golden light and the echo of the Buddha's voice, Huang Shang, who had been exhausted, turned out to be like a dead tree blooming in spring. His dry and wrinkled skin gradually began to regain its vitality, becoming fair and tender, and his gray hair began to rejuvenate.
My hair also turned from white to black again!
In the blink of an eye, he was back to his prime!
"Golden lotus seeds?"
Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in Lu Dongbin's eyes: "This boy is so blessed that he is protected by a golden lotus - now he is saved!"
